La Sonora Dinamita was created by Lucho Argaín in 1960. As one of the first cumbia groups to reach an international audience, La Sonora Dinamita enjoyed success not only in Colombia, but worldwide. While the original group dispersed in 1962, La Sonora Dinamita reformed in 1978 after brothers José María and Pedro Fuentes convinced Lucho Argaín to return.

Lucho Argaín’s legacy can be found in the current band’s energy and tenacity, which were fundamental qualities of La Sonora Dinamita for 53 years. Today, the group continues to perform globally.
